This reminds me of the dog fight we were in three years ago against ball St ... I'd rather be playing UMass

So this is isn’t like ND is at DEFCON 1. However ND’s definitely thin at LBer. They’ve got 6 dudes to play the 3 spots and I believe Shayne Simon could miss some time. If all 6 are healthy then that’s a good grouping and plenty of depth for a single game. Over the course of the whole season I think we’ll see some Prince Kollie at some point.

God forbid we see a big name recruit get a chance to play meaningful minutes early lmaooo

I often follow late games on ESPN gamecast as it’s the middles the night in Ireland…..I take the iPad to bed. Surprisingly the FSU game was on YouTube and I ended up watching it all till 4.30 in the morning. Ended up reading comments and reviews until 6 and then had to get up at 7 to go and teach school.

Now here's a real Irish fan!

 

[Irish#1]

So if I buy it before Saturday can I cancel it or is it a year long minimum?

If you happen to have Xfinity, it comes with your subscription.

I would expect we’ll see both Kollie and Kia to some degree, especially if Shayne Simon is out for more than a game or two. Hoping Simon isn’t out and they play out of luxury, not necessity.

I had not seen this post when I posted in the postgame thread. I agree, I'm fairly worried about depth at this point, And, while that game had an unusually high snap counts, we need to figure some things out to ensure these guys have something in the tank for the entire season. Getting Botelho back should help a lot as he can take some snaps from LB's and DE's.

In the short term, they need to cross train Bauer so he plays a full game of snaps between Will and Mike. That will give a breather for Bertrand and White, who they also have to get off ST's. They need to at least start the process against Toledo of Freshman playing ST's. Let's get Walters, Schweitzer, Kia, Gee, Riley, and Barnes on all ST's for this weekend. And, I'd do that for the next 2 weeks to limit snaps for starters and 2 deep members. Based on how they do, we can re-evaluate for Wiscy week. Maybe some of these guys are good enough to play ST's for the big games and we burn some RS's. Maybe we have to go back to the 2 deep again but at least they'll have a 2 week reprieve. I'd also like to get some of these offensive players involved as well.

bolded is out for the season i believe...know he was def injured ......have you heard anything related to Gee? i know he was one Polian even referenced as playing st this year...haven't heard a peep whether good or bad in fall camp

you know, bertrand i think i heard this correct...had the same amount of tackles in the game against fsu than he had in all of last season (simon)..something along those lines....nothing but a disappointment career thus far for him...really thought they had something there with him when he signed...

Paul Burmeister...........Holy Toledo, The Rockets just returned the opening kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown!

You're right, I totally spaced that when I was posting. He seems like an ideal guy for ST's right about now.

Any chance we move osita back to linebacker

I thought Osita was injured?

Unfortunately he’s hurt right now……..

 

[stpeteirish]

Isn't he injured and OFS

 

[Trait Expectations]

3-3-5 needs to give way to 4-2-5 if we want to play somethign similar. Our DL depth is better and it provides more pressure on the QB.

Also, we need to see Lorenzo Styles to get at least 10-15 snaps and 2-3 targets. We need to start breaking him in because we need to score a lot of points in every game

I have Xfinity at home so I wasn't worried, but we will be at the lake. Hmmm....

FWIW, you have to have specific Comcast packages to be eligible for "Peacock included". I try to give them as few dollars as possible for their horrendous service while maintaining 21st century bandwidth (still an arm and a leg), but evidently I don't qualify.

You have a laptop or pad and have access to a network? If so log into your Xfinity account through the browser you should be able to watch it.

I have the cheapest basic package available and I get Peacock. Maybe it's some introductory limited time offer. I haven't used it for a while. I guess I should check it out before Saturday! lol

 

[NDohio]

Make sure that the Peacock you have as part of your cable package is Peacock Premium. The game isn't on the Free version of Peacock.

yeah did his achilles like moala i think

If you have wifi at the lake, I'd be sure to download the peacock app on your laptop or tablet and watch on that. Otherwise, you may have to do the same on your phone and use your data.

See this is what's so irritating...there's so many dumb ass layers to this whole thing.

The whole benefit to ND getting an exclusive contract with NBC is to enhance viewership for national exposure and they're making it more difficult for fans to watch. I honestly hope their viewership tanks this week, which is suspect it will. So glad I decided to go to this game.

 

[stpeteirish]

Moving on from Peacock... Toledo really is experienced but I wonder how good they are . Top ranked MAC team on 247 recruiting rankings five years running. Avg around 70th nationally. Zero 4 stars during that period but 3 stars at virtually every spot. Ratings usually 80-85, highest rated guys are mostly transfers.

But more than the recruiting rankings performance hasn't been that great. They went 7-6 in 2018, 6-6 in 2019 and 4-2 in 2020 with no divisional MAC titles.
No non conf games last year. Got smacked around by Miami and Fresno St in 2018, played Kentucky tough in 2019 and beat BYU at home. So they're really just an above average MAC team. We should win comfortably although Freeman's "prevent" defense could get another opportunity to excite us.
